Usually how those multi-floppy installers worked is that they checked for the existence of the next file. If it exists then they don't prompt for a new floppy. Hence if you copied the contents of all five floppies into a shared folder then it would probably install. In fact I would copy the files into a local folder in the VM before I installed, as I find this more reliable.

Yayyyyyy. It effing worked. That program is now working in Virtualbox. Buy yourself a beer on me. :P Thanks a bunch.

Look like I have to find a way to configure it to Com 1 so I might be back. Cheers.
